Hi, Jacqueline,

Canvas has a groups feature that allows you to create groups and let students sign up for the group they want.

Once students are added to a group, you can use the group for other tasks, such as associating a group with a specific assignment. Or you can have the group use their space to create group-specific discussions, collaborations, and more. Groups may be useful for your ultimate objective.

• Set up the group: How do I create self sign-up groups in a group set?  
• In case you want students in a group to submit an assignment as a group: How do I assign an assignment to a course group? 

• Instructions for students about how to sign up for a group: How do I join a group as a student? 
• Students can create a collaboration once in a group (like Google Docs): How do I start a collaboration in a group? 

Let us know if these ideas help you out!
